You don’t need to be a navi to suspend halacha. Non-neviim can also suspend/change halacha (e.g. the chachamim instituting that shofar not be blown on shabbos.) The case on Mt. Carmel was a danger to the entire klal yisrael. Pikuach Nefesh for just one person is doche anything except the big three. The point being that a navi telling me to desecrate shabbos is no different then anyone telling me to desecrate shabbos – if there’s a valid reason such as pikuach nefesh then you listen. If there’s no valid reason then he’s a false navi and he gets the death penalty via strangulation.
